Defying Trump: Lessons From 1933 Germany (Part One)
A remarkable book by Sebastian Haffner helps us understand the rise of fascism in the United States.
"There’s still time to change course. ICE isn’t gunning down dissidents yet. The MAGA concentration camps are still mostly empty. We haven’t invaded Greenland. World War III has not begun. We can—and must—learn from what didn’t work in Germany & apply that knowledge to the here and now."

I don't have a problem with my friend opening the Guinness I left in his fridge, though he doesn't normally drink it, especially as he brought me into work this morning as my car was at dead.

THIS IS STILL RELEVANT. If people want to talk about why 300,000 Black women are leaving the labor force (hint: it's because of #TheDoubleTax), hit my line!

I've kinda noticed a direct correlation between the content of a book and the 'skin color' of the author
Mediocrity that passes through the publishing process to become a book tends to be white

At times things are reduced just to get rid of inventory. I got a $150 masking machine with a dozen rolls of paper for $12 because it was on clearance. Timing can be everything

President Obama writing
I noticed Obama writes same way I do-with hand above the line he was writing. Think that helped prevent some of the smearing of ink

Saturday Night Live opened with Hallelujah after Trump was first elected. I thought that following Biden's election they should have bookended by opening with Cohen's Democracy is Coming but four years and six months on we're back to fighting for it

Nobody Cares White Supremacists Are Calling the Shots Now

Maybe Cuomo needs to do a bit of research into who pushed Uganda into these policies? Scott Lively was one of them. I was looking for a local coffee shop in Springfield MA and almost went into one until I realized he was behind it
